Hollywood Restoration II

Toll Free  1-800-575-6202

Hollywood Restoration II is the next generation restoration technology we've developed specifically for our high definition film transfer process. Version II adds additional graininess removal and secondary color correction.

This page explains the differences between Hollywood Restoration I and Hollywood Restoration II

Example Before/After Pictures

Below, we are showing the before/after pictures to illustrate our Hollywood Restoration I & II technology*.

What we are using below is amateur film in average condition so you can get an honest idea of the improvement we can achieve. Film that is overly dark, light or grainy will not turn out as well. We cannot improve film that is blurry, flickering (strobing on original film), shot out of frame, damaged due to humidity and mildew or double exposed.

Hollywood Restoration I

Original Film

Original 8mm Film

 
Hollywood Restoration I

Restored 8mm Film

 
Over 90% of the film we see has noticeable color shifting, scratches and graininess. This film has a mild color shift toward blue, has moderate grain and some scratches. The colors can shift toward blue, red or yellow. Most film shifts toward blue. In this example case, it shifted to blue and looks like someone put a blue tint on the film. 

This film represents the average condition of the film we get in.

In this case, the Hollywood Restoration was able to remove about 70% of the scratches and grain*.
 

 
Hollywood Restoration I & II
8mm Film After Gold Restoration

Hollywood Restoration I (Gold)

Our Gold process includes a frame by frame color correction, exposure enhancement and removal of the majority of grain and scratches. Currently, no one offers anything like our Gold process. You can see that the majority of the grain and scratches are no longer there and the colors have been corrected which results in better quality than the original film in this case*.

8mm Film After Platinum Restoration

High Definition Frame By Frame with Restoration (Platinum HD)

The Platinum HD process is the first High Definition film transfer service of it's kind in the United States.  You can see the imagine looks more 3-D, is sharper and had less grain over the Gold process. Also, if you look at the facial tones, you can see that the color correction is slightly better than the Gold.

*Quality of restoration is dependent upon condition of existing film stock; severely deteriorated original materials may be beyond the reach of even the most sophisticated restoration methods. Click here for more information. Refunds are only given if a competitor can obtain better quality (defined by clarity, color, graininess and scratches) for a similar price (within 10% of ours). Under these fair terms, we've never had to give a refund.
